- Featured Strategy: Drawing a Graph. Richard bowled 24 games, and the mean of his scores was 219. His four lowest scores were 130, 134, 138, and 142. If he throws out these four low scores, what is the new mean? Part 1: a. Understanding the Problem. Throwing out four scores that are below the mean of 219 will result in a greater mean. How many games will be used to determine the new mean? Number of games = 20 Part 2 out of 4 b. Devising a Plan. Sometimes drawing a graph of the given information will suggest a plan. A mean of 219 for 24 games can be pictured as 24 games, each with a score of 219. This is shown in the graph below, where the dashed lines represent the four low scores. What amounts would need to be added to the low scores to bring them up to 219?arrow_forwardMultiple-Choice 20 Data about the total monthly cost to rent video games from two online game sites are shown on the graph below.

It costs more to rent from Sir Game-A- Lot after 6 a games. It costs less to rent from Mighty Gamers after 30 games. C It costs the same amount to rent 6 games from the two sites. It costs the same amount to rent 30 games from the two sites. Total monthly cost ($)arrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes why this graph could be misleading? The data comes from too small of a sample. The source of the data is very questionable. A bar chart is not an appropriate graph for this data. They should have made a pie chart. The graph has an alternative explanation flaw in logical reasoning. The vertical axis (y-axis) does not start at zero.arrow_forward
